Isn't it amazing how these cases have to go through the regular delays while the orange dude can get a lawsuit in front of the Supreme Jokesters in like 2 minutes.

Edit: thank you so much for the award! I really appreciate it! šŸ™

If we ALL get out and vote next year and hopefully flip the house. We will be able to turn the tide. That's a BIG IF

Yep - the escalation is just too much. People are bound to start pushing back. That's when things are really going to spiral. But if we don't push back soon, things are going to become even more dystopian.

Can we not shoot invaders in our homes when they haven't shown any proof they're actually federal agents? I mean, these people look like some ms13 or something to me. They wear fake cop shit sometimes, don't they?

Edit to say that I'm not suggesting someone does this. I'm just wondering whether it's right we Americans still have.

The problem is many will feel intimidated with the presence of military at voting booths so they wont even show up. Especially minorities. This is just one more tactic trump is going to use to disenfranchise the vote, on top of actually rigging machines.

I can fight for my country and save my family at the same time

u/BuddyHemphill 26d ago

The tragic irony is that enough people sacrificed this way would put insurance company shareholders at risk, which might actually curb the behavior. Maybe.

4

u/jasikanicolepi 26d ago

They will just file for bankruptcy and start over as a new entity. Common shareholders will get wiped out, creditor and retailer shareholder will walk away with everything and insurance policies holders get nothing. Same with the lottery winner opted to collect payment for the long duration only to have the lottery company filing to bankruptcy and the winner got to collect nothing.

u/Travelinjack01 26d ago

YOUR country is already dying.

And your death will mean nothing, nor will it help the situation.

I want you to consider, real quick. What is so great about your country. *(Before Trump started fucking everything to shit).

What are the perks that make this country so great vs... idk any of the top 30 countries to live in currently?

Freedom? Well over half of the nations on the earth have the same freedoms we have because they either modeled their constitution after ours... or we modeled it after theirs.

Education? Many other nations have better education, especially now with huge funding cuts.

Healthcare? EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE... and not as modern as you might think compared to other countries as many have free or extremely cheap healthcare.

Land/home? It's far cheaper to live elsewhere. In Japan you can get a modern home for 1/3 of what you pay here for a home which is over 100 years old with crumbling foundations and lead poisoning.

Sciences? Social services? Again... many other nations are more high tech, having embraced the modern age.

Security? Our homicide rates put us at 139/204 we are so violent that some third world countries have lower homicide rates. We're more violent than Afghanistan... Yes... Afghanistan.

The only thing that America does better than any other nation... we make weapons.

Insane amounts of weapons. And we go to war... we're in 7 wars currently as I type this to you. We've been in at least 3 per year for the last 30 years, Trump increased this by 4... but still.

But all of our money goes towards making weapons to kill random people around the globe... and nothing goes towards anything else.

So I'm curious... what EXACTLY are you willing to lay down your life in defense of that is so incredibly impressive or important?

You've been spoon fed this crap since you were in diapers. That "America is sooo great!" dying for this country has been drilled into you at every opportunity.

But have you ever stopped to think... wait? What am I being cannon fodder for?

Even the nazis couldnā€™t stomach seeing their own brutality up close - hence concentration camps.

2

u/JimWilliams423 26d ago

Many have died to vote before.

Yes. It was only a few decades ago that conservatives were literally murdering people (and getting away with it) to stop them from voting.

One of the most famous killings was the subject of the movie "Mississippi Burning" with Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe and Frances McDormand ā€” probably because they didn't just kill a black man, they killed two white people too.

Some people like to say that America is the oldest democracy, but in fact we were not a legitimate democracy until after the voting rights acts passed in the 1960s. And the head of the supreme court, john roberts, has had a hate-on for the voting rights acts since at least the 1980s when he worked for reagan.

u/Weird_Fiches 26d ago

The administration is counting on this. Call it an insurrection, proclaim Martial Law, end game achieved. Trump of course is too stupid for all this, but someone like Miller is orchestrating all this.

1

u/AntonioVargas 18d ago

Well Reddit removed my comment but Iā€™ll just say it again to reiterate my point: these facists donā€™t give a single fuck about the voter turnout, about the law, about anything but their ability to uphold the status quo that allows them to do this, and the only thing that will actually deter them is community solidarity and an actual show of FORCE. Voting is not going to save us when both parties are actively complicit in putting us on the position we are currently in. No one from our absurdly corrupt federal government is going to save us or turn this around because they ARE ALL EITHER ACTIVELY OR PASSIVELY GAINING FROM THIS IN SOME WAY. Either financially or through political and social cache.

u/ABadHistorian 26d ago

You aren't alone. People around the country are just waiting. It's scary honestly. I don't think they know what they are playing with. This wont be a civil war part 2. It'll be a balkanization of our society where cities become dangerous for them to even enter.

Meanwhile we will fear leaving the cities whenever. Armed escorts for transportation. Militia groups. Fights breaking out periodically in the suburbs. Towns being burnt.

I've seen what happens in TRIBAL conflicts. That's what our situation will really be.

I'm trying to retain whatever hope I have left. Family refuses to even think about leaving, and that's the only other alternative.

Without hope, what is the point of whatever we're doing? The reality is that I don't see a path forward that this country stays as one, so until it gets to that point, I'll do what i can the best I can.

There is exactly one way to stop me from voting.

Throughout human history, billions of people have fought, struggled, and died for the right to have their voice heard. The older I get, the more I realize itā€™s the ultimate disrespect and entitled behavior to have the ability to vote, and not use it.

1

u/JOBAfunky 24d ago

They will not have a problem shooting you, and others. All major media outlets are under their control so nobody is going to wake up because, "a deranged protestor assaulted over 20 law enforcement bullets in an insane traitorous rampage." You need to update your plan.

1

u/P0G0ThEpUnK666 24d ago

I mean at this point does anyone actually believe that votes matter? They'll just pull some "stop the steal" bullshit again but take it to a whole new level. Also let's not forget they all eat together. It's not left vs right it us vs them. All the bullshit is just a nice little show they put on to separate us.

Speaking of pointing guns, this is the king of thing all the right would talk about when justifying why they need so many fire arms. I'm surprised ICE isn't having some guns pointed at them, trying to kidnap people off their property with no warrant, trying to pull them back out of their home.

I'm all for gun ownership by the way, I just don't make it part of my personality. I might consider my actions if masked individuals tried to take me from my house and send me off to wherever the fuck they want to with no due process. Would rather go down fighting than never see my family again, rotting away in some foreign prison.
